Alzheimer's Disease : The Dignity Within : A Handbook For Caregivers & Friends
Paperback Edition: 1
Of the estimated 5 million Americans who have Alzheimer's disease, more than 7 in 10 live at home, primarily cared for by family and friends. "Alzheimer's Disease: The Dignity Within: A Handbook for Caregivers, Family Members and Friends" was written in a workbook-type format aimed
at increasing the caregiver's knowledge of the disease. As a result, these caregivers - whether family members, friends or health professionals - will be better equipped to nurture the dignity within people living with Alzheimer's and feel more confident doing so. The book is a tool for caregivers that will impact not only the way they relate to persons with Alzheimer's disease, but other relationships as well. The book contains information on how to take care of a person with Alzheimer's disease by mapping out each stage of the disease and showing what can be done from a care giving standpoint at these various stages. In addition, the book discusses how important it is for caregivers to take care of themselves. The book also educates readers with easy-to-understand charts and sketches on what physically happens to the brain during the progression of Alzheimer's.
